Hi Alex,
The libreboot mailing list is down, so you can't CC it at the moment.
I was notified about this thread.
There's not much we can do from the Libreboot side, but there are
mitigations on kernel side... since it's exploitable from javascript
you could also e.g. not run JavaScript. specing on #libreboot IRC had
the idea to run Firefox without the JIT enabled - we both tried to
compile the latest ESR however, with --disable-ion, and it segfaulted.
I tried to build ff 45esr instead, but that build failed.
